Hi all, I am new to the BP forums and intend to invest in the Montreal area over the next couple years.I would love to join a local REI group to share thoughts, plans, and even create a solid network base.If something does form I would also be joining (English or French). 

This is really the premier place to start learning about RE and what it can do for you!

My husband and I hang our licenses with Premiere Property Group.  

You "saved $500" in taxes, but you still paid a bank $5K in interest for a NET LOSS of $4,500 dollars.The deduction makes sense if you need the mortgage anyway, it doesn't make any sense to get a mortgage as a tax liability "protection" strategy.I was at he bank one time and their "premier client advisor" was trying to convince me that I should be buy a bigger house to "save on taxes" and I just had to laugh. 

(Credit one, first  premier, etc) Stick with Visa, MC, AMEX, Discover)

But (I know I should stop starting sentences with conjunctions, I skipped college English) there is a redeemed house that is back from the dead up to rejoin the living.

Literally every tenant in the mission, English speaking or not, old or young, now knows that their RC flat is a gold mine.

Easiest to talk to that person's local bank who will connect with USA branch lending (for example if you have hsbc premier account, they will arrange a US mortgage). 40% downpayment, and interest rates normally 1% above the current rates for US residents. 

Have some patience, you will most likely be talking to engineers with minimal English skills, so keep that in mind.
